I'm not sure what this is. The subject seems to be the round (glass?) thing in the middle of the metallic square thing. Everything outside that square seems to be wasted space. I don't see it adding anything. Maybe a close up on the subject would have fared better?

Composition : I see you received several comments that there is too much space on the bottom of the shot. Personally I disagree with that. The negative space gives the subject a direction to drop into. Without that space, you have less of a feel of "dropping". Then again, they may well be right and I could be the one that's wrong :) Or maybe we're both right. Maybe the space lends direction to the shot, but perhaps there is a tad too much of it. Maybe a "little" off the bottom would be an improvement. What do you think?

Exposure / Lighting : Great exposure. By luck or design, you caught just the right light/exposure. I'll assume it was design :)

Focus : Wonderful. No issues here.

Post Processing : If you did any, it is subtle enough so it looks like you didn't.

Challenge / Wow : Challenge nailed. No doubt. Wow factor is absolutely there. Wonderful shot.

Composition : Strong diagonal lines everywhere. I like the composition a lot. I'm not sure how I feel about the bit of sidewalk in the lower right corner though. Have you tried a crop that loses some of that? It may or may not be an improvement.

Exposure / Lighting : Lighting doesn't seem to be an issue (for me) here. The white pillars are certainly not overexposed and the darkest areas (under the train) are not overly underexposed. I agree that the contrast of the bridge to the train is wonderful. Maybe just a tad more saturation of the yellow channel would have brought that out even more dramatically?

Focus : I see from your comment that you already see what I am inclined to point out, but since you asked for a critique, I'll say it anyway. To show the movement of the train, you would have needed a slower shutter speed then 1/320. I don't know if you had a tripod, but you may have wanted to step it to about 1/30 or possibly even slower. I think this one change would have pushed this photo up a full point to around 5.5 or so.

Challenge / Wow : Challenge is certainly met. I think the slower shutter would have added a lot more Wow.

I'm not sure you understood the concept of "Challenge". All photo's were suppose to be of "glass". While this is a very nice photo, it has nothing to do with the challenge.

Powerful interputation, well executed. The grain works well to add to the emotion of despair. Right now I (and most of us) are thinking about leading lines... If the arn had been positioned so the countertop edge pointed to the same spot as the needle, it may have made an even stronger image. As it is, it's still VERY powerful.

Without thinking, I almost commented on the cluttered background :)

This photo really suffers from the size. It can be 640 pixels on any edge and you really should consider staying close to that. If you're not sure how to do this, email me with the type of software you use and I'll try to help you out.

I'm assuming this shot is setup since this would have been cruel in the extreme to shoot if she truely felt that way. To your model's credit, it is pulled off well. The grain works for you here. Good job
